What Shakespeare is bad Shakespeare?, 8 November 2004
10/10
Author: steveweing from Minneapolis

I liked this movie a lot. Shakespeare is the only profound person I've ever come across and this movie did him justice.

If you like Shakespeare and aren't hung up on the need of Shakespeare plays / movies to use English accents, then watch this movie.

Brilliant acting, brilliant production. This isn't the typical low budget Shakespeare movie that hurts the eyes. It's an unsettling movie which is good because it's an unsettling play. The movie did a good job of expressing the feeling that is hidden within the text.

Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor, backed up by other actors who are almost as impressive.
